How to Style Your Home for Winter: Warm, Thoughtful Touches for the Cooler Season
As winter settles in across Australia, our homes become more than just places to live—they become sanctuaries. A space to retreat, recharge, and reconnect. Styling your home for winter is all about warmth, mood, and thoughtful layering. With a few simple shifts and well-chosen pieces, you can create an atmosphere that feels calm, cocooning, and inviting.
Here are some styling ideas to help you bring comfort and beauty to your home this winter—with the help of timeless pieces from the House of 9 collection.
As daylight fades earlier, soft ambient lighting becomes essential. Candles not only bring a warm glow to your space—they create a sense of calm and intimacy.
Featured Pieces:
Alina Candle Holders – its vintage gold colour is the perfect styling piece for a cosy moment on a mantle or dining table.
Sienna Wavy Candle Holders – with its beautiful wavy form, its perfect for adding visual interest and warmth to a console or coffee table.
Styling idea: Cluster different height candle holders together for a layered, glowing effect in your living or dining space.
Winter is the perfect time to embrace heavier textures and grounding materials. Think stone, marble, wool, and linen in deeper, warmer tones.
Featured Pieces:
Zander Candle Holder in Emperador Dark Brown – The rich, chocolate marble adds an architectural and moody touch to any setting. Perfect on a sideboard, mantel, or shelf.
Iris Scalloped Marble Tray in Emperador Dark Brown – This beautifully detailed tray anchors styled objects while adding depth and texture. Use it on your coffee table or bedside with a candle, coasters, or ceramic bowl.
Layering isn’t just for fashion—it works beautifully in interiors too. Combine soft throws, textured cushions, and layered tabletop styling to create warmth and dimension.
Styling idea: On your coffee table, layer the Iris Scalloped Marble Tray with stacked books, a bud vase, and the Zander Marble Candle Holder for a refined, moody look. Or pair the Sienna and Alina Candle Holders together in a vignette with dried florals and tonal ceramics.
Whether it's a corner armchair or your bedside, make space for stillness. Style it with intention—lighting, textures, and one or two beautiful pieces that make you feel grounded.
Styling idea: Add a woollen throw, soft reading light, and one candle holder to your nook. The simple ritual of lighting a candle in the evening can mark the transition from busy day to slow night.
